I don't need to do much, but it's enough that I can't just ignore it. Laundry mountain needs to become a laundry hamper again. I need to run the dishwasher and clean out the disposal. Take the trash out. Clean the master bath (including the unused shower). Sweep/ mop/ vacuum. Change sheets and wash sofa covers. Put away my shoes and pick up both living rooms.

Sabine, it may sound like a lot, but the worst of it is vacuuming/ sweeping/ mopping. The laundry chugs away while I do other things, the dishwasher is easy enough, and I vetoed doing the bathroom. (Again.) (It's cleanish, but I really need to wipe down the walls of the shower again. We never use it, so it gets dusty and scungy.) Changing the sheets and sofa covers is just part of laundry for us, because of allergies. Picking up the living rooms is a maybe 10 minute task, because I've been staying on top of filing the mail.
I need to remember to ask for the bonier pieces next time I get soup bones. (Not to self, remember enough Spanish to be able to ask for that.) On the plus side, I have a bowl of stew beef in the fridge waiting to be shredded. Hello, road food. With this batch of broth, I can at least exchange hostages with Dad (his chile powder for my stock.)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

I'm contemplating closing this journal and starting a new one. Not just because this one is so damn long, but also because this one was originally intended to be my original journey to primal. I've made that initial journey and have since moved on to tweaking and fine tuning and maintenance.
Essentially, I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and really tackle this head-on, but this tome represents the past and acts as a weight to stay.

Either way we'll keep harrassing you, but in a tweaking and fine tuned manner

Just crosslink to whatever new thread you make from here so we can find it.

RE: forum spam, I have barely read journals lately, much less looked at other threads. Sounds like it's pretty bad out there. Wonder why they aren't being more aggressive about it? Given the reporting function, presumably it's a question of reviewing those reports. Since this is vBulletin, when they kick a user they have the option to simultaneously nuke all the other posts by that person, which ought to help with some clean-up...
